CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 34: STIRRING UP THE GRASS TO STARTLE THE SNAKE

"Still not leaving?"

Zhou Yingting hid not far away, watching the red dots in front of him remain still, and this situation made Zhou Yingting a bit anxious.

He glanced at the screen in front of him and saw that the two red dots in front still showed no signs of moving, so he frowned.

If this continues, he won’t even be able to get close, and he’ll end up being trapped outside.

Zhou Yingting looked carefully at the mini-map, noticing the red dots around him growing denser.

It seems that the people outside the safe zone are almost all close to the safe zone now.

If he stays here any longer, his movement space will be greatly reduced, and he won’t have many places to hide.

"Hmm, what’s up with this squad?"

Zhou Yingting looked at the densely packed red dots around him and was anxious when he suddenly saw a slightly strange scene on the mini-map.

On the mini-map, far from the safe zone, he saw two red dots heading away from the safe zone.

Seeing such a scene, Zhou Yingting couldn’t help but be stunned.

"What are these guys up to, moving further and further from the safe zone?"

With full suspicion, Zhou Yingting watched the red dots and confirmed they were moving away from the safe zone.

Could it be that they have some special skill to survive outside the safe zone?

If that’s the case, this squad might become a formidable opponent...

"Uh...died?"

Zhou Yingting’s thoughts hadn’t settled when he saw the light of the two red dots vanish.

He surmised that the disappearance of the red dots indicated the person had died.

It seems like a squad lost outside the safe zone, possibly the first to be eliminated.

Zhou Yingting withdrew his gaze, seeing the red dots ahead still not moving.

Thinking for a moment, Zhou Yingting decided to scare them out of hiding.

After moving forward slightly while relying on the position of the red dot, he quickly saw the person hiding.

The other party was quite alert, using dry grass to camouflage themselves.

If Zhou Yingting didn’t have the mini-map, he would indeed have overlooked it.

"See it? Under the tree ahead, someone’s camouflaged with dry leaves, shoot him with arrows!"

Zhou Yingting cleared his throat slightly, then shouted urgently.

The sound wasn’t very loud, but it easily transmitted in such a quiet forest.

As the sound fell, the person camouflaged with leaves like a startled bird immediately moved and ran far away.

While running, they used other nearby trees as cover.

Meanwhile, another red dot also began to move at this point.

"Quick, the other person is moving too, aim and shoot whoever you can hit."

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting felt delighted yet shouted anxiously.

The other party roughly knew Zhou Yingting’s position but couldn’t determine anyone else’s location, thus increasingly anxious.

Most crucially, while they knew Zhou Yingting’s approximate location, they couldn’t see anyone.

In this situation, they felt an inexplicable pressure.

"Let’s go, don’t know the enemy’s location, can’t counterattack, leave this spot first."

The three gathered together, feeling pressed by the recent sound.

Their previous camouflage was easily uncovered.

This filled their hearts with a certain shadow.

"Alright, let’s go!"

A young man who had just retreated gritted his teeth and said after hearing this.

He found his previous hiding particularly effective but wondered why it was discovered.

"This guy is weird, but luckily he’s a fool, speaking loudly; otherwise, I’d be done."

The returning young man said with relief.

When entering the safe zone, their squad had already confronted other squads.

He knew the archer’s lethality, hitting vital points meant certain death.

If hitting limb parts, the medical soldier could help treat, but treatment takes time.

The three dared not linger, hurriedly leaving for another place.

"This scare tactic actually worked a bit."

Seeing the two red dots leaving on the mini-map, Zhou Yingting waited a moment before transporting a pile of third-level wood forward.

Seeing the increasing red dots around him, Zhou Yingting dared not waste time.

He made several trips to move the third-level wood under a rock, then immediately used the construction technique.

As the construction progress bar slowly rose, Zhou Yingting from time to time glanced at the mini-map to prevent anyone from approaching.

While collecting some dry branches and leaves in the nearby forest.

After about half an hour, the progress bar before Zhou Yingting finally reached 100%, then the third-level wood formed a level 3 safe house.

Zhou Yingting was slightly stunned seeing the safe house, then hurriedly threw the dry branches and leaves onto it for simple camouflage.

After disguising it, Zhou Yingting immediately entered the safe house.

As Zhou Yingting rushed into the safe house, he saw its structure clearly.

Inside the safe house, the most noticeable thing should be a small stove ahead, along with piled pine wood, presumably for burning and heating.

Next is the overall structure of the safe house, appearing extremely strong, with third-level wood stacked layers upon layers, showing some reflection.

The reflection faintly held a hint of a metallic sheen.

"Thud thud..."

Zhou Yingting tried tapping the wall, finding the echo somewhat muffled.

When touching it, he felt the wall to be exceptionally solid.

"Is this the kind of wooden house made with third-level wood? It seems sturdy."

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting then examined all around.

A phrase soon caught his eye.

Phrase: Level 3 Wooden House.

’You can trust its safety and reliability.’

The introduction below the phrase was simple, just a few words.

Yet this simple introduction instilled full confidence.

This seems to be the use of the architect.

After checking around, Zhou Yingting found a small shooting opening beside the wooden house.

If an archer were inside the wooden house, they’d be completely invincible.
